A Kenmore washer shares most of its basic parts with other washers, but its drive design, lid or door lock, controls and error codes are specific to the brand. The Linton list starts with companies that name Kenmore, followed by other appliance repair companies that work on washers.
This is an independent directory. We are not affiliated with Kenmore, and the technicians listed are independent repair companies, not the manufacturer.
Kenmore appliances were sold through Sears for decades, so many owners look for Sears washer repair. The companies here are independent technicians who work on Kenmore and Kenmore Elite washers; they are not Sears.
